title: Biatrial myxoma.
abstract: A female, 32 years of age, presented with complaint of easy fatigability and exertional dyspnoea for the last one year. She had no previous history of cardiac disease. On clinical examination, there was a diastolic murmur at apex. Transthoracic echocardiography and subsequently a transesophageal echocardiogram was performed, which showed biatrial pedunculated masses, suggestive of cardiac myxoma. The left atrial mass was 28 x 15 mm and right atrial mass was 35 x 25 mm in dimension and both appeared attached with interatrial septum. On surgical excision and histopathological examination, findings were consistent with cardiac myxoma.
